The Report of the minority of the Commit tee on Privileges and Elections, in the Senate, on the contested seat from Hamilton county, now ... . . . . i i i... occupied by beo r. immes, dui uu y Uim v. " " J on Monday. The report examines in the first place, the respective charges made by each party against the other, of having introduced illegal voters into the county of Hamilton, and secondly proceeds to the consideration of those votes in regard to which the Committee disagree. The first head is examined undor two subdivi-.; mi in urhiph tli ft testimony imnli- cates'the conduct of the Van Buren party, and the other in which the evidence implicates the Whigs. This part of the testimony which has been adduced, is canvassed at great length, and the report arrives at the conclusion that there is not sullicient or satisiaciory prooi charge of a general organization to poll improper votes, on either side, but that the allegations rest upon hear-say, rumor and mere suspicion. It exonerates both parties from any designed fraud nnnn the inteirritv of the ballot-boxes. 1 he Keport next takes disDuted votes.

Should it be delayed to the last moment of the session, it might justify the remark that the delay was desired on the part of the majority of the Senate, in order to avoid any action upon ., We noticed yesterday the vote of the Senate to adjourn on the 20lh. After spending the whole winter in doinir nothinir. except to check-mate the wholesome legislation of the House, the ma- iority were taken all aback by the resolution to adjourn, and in the irresolution of the moment not only voted against adjourning on the zutn, but declined naming any tune, eithor in this month or the next, when they should be ready to do so. The object of the House in naming the 29th was to give the majority of the Senate an onnnrtnnitv nf intimntinir whether tbcv seriously designed to pass a Bank bill or not. If they did, it was supposed the session would be necessarily extended otherwise there could be no obstacle to their adjourning in half the time. The Senate hesitated at first, but finally adopted the original resolution from the House, so of course an el- fnrt will be made to push a bank bill through. Tho House have labored diligently through the winter to mature and accomplish some measures of reform, but the Sonate. the aristocratic branch, is dead airainst them. Every effort is made to defeat the wishes of the people, and plunge the State in still greater embarrassments and distress, Tho people, whose interests and instructions have been wantonly disregarded in that citadel of Loco Foco Federalism, will long have reason to curse the fato which has hung that mill-stone about their nocks. If their demand should be finally defeat- ed, the Senate must tike the responsibility. THE SUB-TREASURY HOW IT WORKS, The "Second Dcclaratiom of Indopendonco," as the Sub-Treasury was facetiously nick-named by its authors, has been in force eight months.

He was a roaring, hard-money Van Buren- itc, and used to make speeches at lammany Hall, in favor of the Government s keeping its own monoy, and not loaving it with tho rascally Banks.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Wednesday, March 10. . In the Senate, the business of most general interest under consideration, was a bill reported by Mr;- Hunt, to provide the means for completing the public works. The bill authorizes and directs the Fund Commissioners to make a loan, in the usual way, if the money can be procured; but if it cannot, men to issue cnecus upon we i roaster, in sums of not less than five dollars, (or the requisite amounts. The Senate adjourned without taking any vote on the bill. We are a little curious to see how the ilrict constructionists will vote on this proposition to issue a new snenies of nnner currency.

The Statesman says that many persons doubted the genuineness of tho Inaugural, on seeing it pub- "shed h' Pper. 1 his is a matter or wo"1'". m he unenviable reputation winch I no that vehicle of lying has obtained in this community, would throw distrust upon a chapter of the holy scriptures, if it should have occasion to copy one. Suppose the Statesman should publish the pro- ceedinfrs of the Newark meetin?. so that we can all understand what Mr. Taylor's instructions on the subject of Banking really amounted to. That would be better than to pretend that we have mis. represented their purport. The Constitutionalist takes too much pains to charge us with "garbling," when we simply copied from the Whig papcrun dor its nose. ptjThe Statesman will pleaso to observe that this is a Kepublican Jltlmimslration Journal, and address us accordingly.

NORTH. OHIO LEGISLATURE. REMARKS OF MR GREEN. On ths Adjournment or the Legislature Mr. Green moved to amend the motion to recommit, with instructions to amend the reiolulios so ss to insert ihs "32d inst." Mr. Green said, he mads the motion in lood faith, He was not in the habit of making motions or speech es for effect. He could now have no such object, aa he should in all probability never strain occupy a seat in this Hal). But he was satisned ins legislature could ss well aH' mm on the 2'2d as the 29th. The amount and importance of the business yet to bs act- ad upon would irquire more time man until ino xjm, and if it was not to bs done, why the sooner we go hnmaths bolter. The eentleman from Lake, (Mr. Btsssl.) hsd distiniruished himself in the very notel character of proposer of a resolution to adjourn. Af ter having introduced his Hank Dill, made nts spescn and published it. he was satisfied that three weeks were sufficient to do up the business. He had divided it into one week for the contested election one week for the bsnk bill, and one week for devising ways snd means to keep the Government in motion. He sesms to mink this is an mat is yei to ao. dui sup. nosinr it ware. Ths report of the majority of the com. miitet on Privileges snd Elections wenl to the hands of the Printer but recently; it is a most voluminous document, and judging from the pastil will be a week before it la laid befors us. I he report ot tne minori lv is not vet made. It, hs waa advised, Is also lengthy he tunrMwd gentlemen would order tf to be printed also. It will then, in all prooaDiiity, De a week or ten davs before these reports are before as. Probably some gentlemen might be prepared to vote on the question ss well before as after reading those reports Bui ths contestor has a riuht to be heard. Your com. mittea on the Currency have the four bank bills be. fnrn them. Thev will, in all orohabilitv. be ready to report by Thursday morning. No man supposes lhat this commlitce will report unanimously, or that the Senate will agree to pass the bank bill as it came from the House. Amendments will De reported, per- hapi counter reports. Are they to be discussed or considered, or are ws to tumn 10 conclusions! i nts aubieel is one of all absorbing inlerest to the people) they eipect st our hands ths settlement of this vexed question. They will not be satisfied if it is not. Thev do not sxnect lhat we shall trifle with it thsy lock for calm .deliberate action action looking to Iheir inlereats and their wanta. Does any man sup pose ws csn pass a bank bill through this Senate, send u 10 ine Mouse, nave our iiienuiuviuB uiwu,w there, ths subject pass through the hands of a com mittee of Conference, snd differences be finally ad justed in one week I The thing was absurd, and to agree to adjourn on Ins il'Jlli, wat tantamount to ibj ins to ihe oeoole. we will pass no bank bill.

Let lie people be disappointed, lo Ibem we had occuuied ao much tims in doing nothing, thai we were afraid to etay a little longer and endeavor lo do something. Gentlemen talk of ihe House cuffing under the Senate a pretty argument tiuly for the Sonste Chamber, Can parly matvtuorct never bs lost sight oft Must this baneful influence curse sll our efforts, snd render them abortive 1 la it impoaaible look through any other medium 1 Is parly every thin and the interests and wants of Ihe people nothing The House of Representatives, taking a wrong view of Ihe amount of business before ut, and ths time necessary lo do It, send us up a resolution to sdjourn on the U'.Uh. We nuu we cannot do the Duaiuass ss should bsin lhat lime; but lest Ihe House should gel Ihe adninfajre, "cut under" Ihe Senate, Ihe reaolutton mint be sgreud to. Do gentlemen think the people will recognixe or assent to such reasons 1 He (Mr. G.) was much mistaken If they did. He was willing, if ths interests of Ihe people required il, to stay here until June, send for his littls family, rent a log cabin, and eamp by the bank bills, until some disposition should be made of the subject. Everyman in his district knsw he was making no money by staying hare; and A: knew he was earning no ir'ury. Nothing bul a sense of duty kept him here. But gentlemen should ennssnt lo lay this resolution en lbs table until 1 nun-day, by lhat lime Ihe Currenoy committee will bs ready le report I from the eemplsxion of that report, a prelty good guess might hs made of the prospect of effecting anything. If there waa ground for hope, we might go ahead diligently ; II not, take up the resolution, fix on sn earlier day to go home, and pass il. In this courss, the Senate would seem to be governed by some disnrstion, and acting semibly, at least; which was rare of late days. SENATE. Tuesday, March 9, 1841. The Senate met pursuant to adjournment. Mr. Utter made a report on the claims of Mr. Whiting, for stationary furnished, and recommended the payment of ihe same.

Mr. Spangler, from the Finance committee, reported back Ihe bill to amend the act providing for ths distribution of the surplus revenue, and recommsnded a disagreement lo the amendment made in committee of the whole of the Senate, and the passaga of the bill as it came from Ihe House. This was an amendment proposed by Mr. Hender son, and related to the collection, rate of interest, &c., on amounts dus from borrowers of the surplus revenue. Mr. Henderson sddressed the Sensle, snd express ed his hopes lhat the recommendation of the committee would not be agreed to. rer. opangler gave his views In favor of the recom mendation of the committee. Mr. Root said he would have lo vote in favor of Ihe amendment made in oommittes of the whole, and argued the question at some length. Ihe debate was continued by Messrs. Thomas, Spangler, Bieeel, Henderson, Crowoll, and Godman; and Mr. Goodin proposed snsmendment to the smend- ment, by striking out the words "two per cent.," making Ihs interest on sums borrowed 7 per cent, after judgment had been rendered. Mr. Taylor moved to postpone the bill indefinitely. The yeas and nays were called, and were yeaa 13, nays 19; so the Senate refused to postpone Ihs bill.

The report examines in the first place, the respective charges made by each party against the other, of having introduced illegal voters into the county of Hamilton, and secondly proceeds to the consideration of those votes in regard to which the Committee disagree. The first head is examined undor two subdivi-.; mi in urhiph tli ft testimony imnli- cates'the conduct of the Van Buren party, and the other in which the evidence implicates the Whigs. This part of the testimony which has been adduced, is canvassed at great length, and the report arrives at the conclusion that there is not sullicient or satisiaciory prooi charge of a general organization to poll improper votes, on either side, but that the allegations rest upon hear-say, rumor and mere suspicion. It exonerates both parties from any designed fraud nnnn the inteirritv of the ballot-boxes. 1 he Keport next takes disDuted votes.

Should it be delayed to the last moment of the session, it might justify the remark that the delay was desired on the part of the majority of the Senate, in order to avoid any action upon ., We noticed yesterday the vote of the Senate to adjourn on the 20lh. After spending the whole winter in doinir nothinir. except to check-mate the wholesome legislation of the House, the ma- iority were taken all aback by the resolution to adjourn, and in the irresolution of the moment not only voted against adjourning on the zutn, but declined naming any tune, eithor in this month or the next, when they should be ready to do so. The object of the House in naming the 29th was to give the majority of the Senate an onnnrtnnitv nf intimntinir whether tbcv seriously designed to pass a Bank bill or not. If they did, it was supposed the session would be necessarily extended otherwise there could be no obstacle to their adjourning in half the time. The Senate hesitated at first, but finally adopted the original resolution from the House, so of course an el- fnrt will be made to push a bank bill through. Tho House have labored diligently through the winter to mature and accomplish some measures of reform, but the Sonate. the aristocratic branch, is dead airainst them. Every effort is made to defeat the wishes of the people, and plunge the State in still greater embarrassments and distress, Tho people, whose interests and instructions have been wantonly disregarded in that citadel of Loco Foco Federalism, will long have reason to curse the fato which has hung that mill-stone about their nocks. If their demand should be finally defeat- ed, the Senate must tike the responsibility. THE SUB-TREASURY HOW IT WORKS, The "Second Dcclaratiom of Indopendonco," as the Sub-Treasury was facetiously nick-named by its authors, has been in force eight months. Great expectations were held out at tho time of its adoption by the Loco Focos, that through its nonM.io. tW ..nnl.l .ton thnir hrBthmn frnm nlnndnpiniT IhA I rAnlli.tf Hill lh PTnurimnnt . . ... n . . ... proves a failure.

He was a roaring, hard-money Van Buren- itc, and used to make speeches at lammany Hall, in favor of the Government s keeping its own monoy, and not loaving it with tho rascally Banks.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Wednesday, March 10. . In the Senate, the business of most general interest under consideration, was a bill reported by Mr;- Hunt, to provide the means for completing the public works. The bill authorizes and directs the Fund Commissioners to make a loan, in the usual way, if the money can be procured; but if it cannot, men to issue cnecus upon we i roaster, in sums of not less than five dollars, (or the requisite amounts. The Senate adjourned without taking any vote on the bill. We are a little curious to see how the ilrict constructionists will vote on this proposition to issue a new snenies of nnner currency.

Suppose the Statesman should publish the pro- ceedinfrs of the Newark meetin?. so that we can all understand what Mr. Taylor's instructions on the subject of Banking really amounted to. That would be better than to pretend that we have mis. represented their purport. The Constitutionalist takes too much pains to charge us with "garbling," when we simply copied from the Whig papcrun dor its nose. ptjThe Statesman will pleaso to observe that this is a Kepublican Jltlmimslration Journal, and address us accordingly.

NORTH. OHIO LEGISLATURE. REMARKS OF MR GREEN. On ths Adjournment or the Legislature Mr. Green moved to amend the motion to recommit, with instructions to amend the reiolulios so ss to insert ihs "32d inst." Mr. Green said, he mads the motion in lood faith, He was not in the habit of making motions or speech es for effect. He could now have no such object, aa he should in all probability never strain occupy a seat in this Hal). But he was satisned ins legislature could ss well aH' mm on the 2'2d as the 29th. The amount and importance of the business yet to bs act- ad upon would irquire more time man until ino xjm, and if it was not to bs done, why the sooner we go hnmaths bolter. The eentleman from Lake, (Mr. Btsssl.) hsd distiniruished himself in the very notel character of proposer of a resolution to adjourn. Af ter having introduced his Hank Dill, made nts spescn and published it. he was satisfied that three weeks were sufficient to do up the business. He had divided it into one week for the contested election one week for the bsnk bill, and one week for devising ways snd means to keep the Government in motion. He sesms to mink this is an mat is yei to ao. dui sup. nosinr it ware. Ths report of the majority of the com. miitet on Privileges snd Elections wenl to the hands of the Printer but recently; it is a most voluminous document, and judging from the pastil will be a week before it la laid befors us.

Your com. mittea on the Currency have the four bank bills be. fnrn them. Thev will, in all orohabilitv. be ready to report by Thursday morning.
